GAUSSIN unveils the world’s first hydrogen-fueled Automated Guided Vehicles (AGV H2) for seaports.
Following the introduction of the hydrogen-powered fuel cell ATM and APM, these new vehicles expand GAUSSIN’s line of hydrogen-powered vehicles. The AGV is capable of operating autonomously in no-infrastructure and mixed-traffic environments. It will assist port operators in immediately transitioning to zero-emission operations, allowing for extended operating hours, shorter and less frequent refueling, as well as quiet and efficient transportation.
GAUSSIN’s supplementary solution for port operators is state-of-the-art.
Historically, ports have relied on diesel-powered trucks and tractors operating in cluster environments to transport cargo to and from ships. This considerably contributes to CO2 emissions. Numerous feasibility studies have demonstrated that ports are good places for hydrogen-powered transport trucks and container handling equipment due to their natural location for hydrogen delivery, storage, and refueling for a variety of purposes.
With the cost of hydrogen production falling by more than half since 2015, hydrogen-powered fuel cell vehicles are now a feasible option for port operators seeking to fulfill both operational efficiency and environmental goals.
